Soulful BBQ Ribs

I haven’t made these Soulful BBQ Ribs in quite some time, pre 2015 times, like some recipes that somehow for some reason escape my repoitoire. I had taken a photo of this recipe from a cookbook on one of my many trips to the Mandel Library with the boys and I do still have it saved in my recipe app. As I try to be even more intentionally with my dinner planning I am pulling recipes back up from deep within the archives. This is an easy and delicious way to make ribs that I hope you enjoy as much as my family and I are enjoying it once again.

Souful BBQ Ribs

• 1 medium onion, diced
• 4 pounds beef ribs
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 tsp freshly cracked sea salt
• 1/2 tsp freshly cracked black pepper
• 1- 15-ounce can tomato sauce
• 1 – 6 ounce can tomato paste
• 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• ¼ cup molasses, preferably blackstrap
• ¼ cup honey

Prepare

1. First, finely dice the onion and place in a 6-quart slow cooker.
2. Cut every 3 to 4 ribs, season the ribs with the chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper, and place on top of the onion.
3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the tomato sauce, tomato paste, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, molasses, and honey, then pour evenly over the ribs.
4. Cover and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours, until the meat is tender and pulls apart easily. Enjoy!
